D-Route 6: Donauroute Hochrhein–Sigmaringen

This collection showcases stages of the D-Route 6 between the High Rhine and Sigmaringen. You mostly ride along the water – through the young Danube with its limestone cliffs, forests, and peaceful floodplains. At the end, a view of Sigmaringen Castle awaits you.

Riding feel: mostly asphalted and well maintained, with short gravel and cobblestone sections. The route alternates between bike paths, quiet country roads, trails, and occasional village passages with slightly more traffic. It's perfect for touring bikes, trekking bikes, or gravel bikes – with road bike tires it’s possible with some caution.

Along the way, you pass through nice towns with bakeries and cafés; water and rest spots are easy to find. The landscape is varied: river floodplains, open forests, and the rocky scenery of the Upper Danube provide many photo stops. Those interested can plan a detour to the Danube spring in Donaueschingen – not far from the route area.

Tip: Ride it as a weekend tour or in individual sections, depending on your time and desire. Have fun rolling along the Danube!
